/**
 * Reference-kind classification for blocker reports.
 *
 * Cleanup tasks that scan content for inbound references (subtree,
 * site-residue, duplicates) walk every field on every item and report
 * any field whose value mentions a target item id. Without further
 * classification, every blocker reads "field X references the target"
 * — uninformative.
 *
 * The Sitecore-specific system fields below carry structural semantics
 * the operator cares about. `_basetemplates` is "this template inherits
 * from the target"; deleting the target orphans every inheritor's
 * fields. `__masters` is "this template lists the target as an
 * Insert Option"; deleting it removes a child-creation entry from the
 * editor's New menu. `__source` is branch-template descent. The
 * `datasource template` field on a Rendering item is the type-gate for
 * "Create Local Datasource" in Pages / Experience Editor.
 *
 * The classifier maps a field name to one of these structural kinds,
 * falling back to `field-value` for the long tail of custom droplist /
 * treelist / link fields. That category split is what an agent (or
 * operator) needs to decide whether a blocker is recoverable.
 *
 * Mirrors `TemplateReferenceKind` in `./audit-template-dependencies`,
 * with `field-value` added as the catch-all for non-structural refs
 * that the template-deps audit doesn't classify. We don't import the
 * narrower type here to avoid a cycle — `audit-template-dependencies`
 * imports `./shared`, and `./shared` would otherwise want to import
 * this module.
